You know, it's a Starbucks barista and former supervisor. I'm no longer a supervisor rather than a barista. I'm always fascinated with people's drink. Whenever they come to my drive through, I kept wondering myself of what's really people's favorite drink. If I'm honest, I always am fascinating with old customers coming back and getting white Mocha with extra camera dressing, cold foam, and all of those beautiful creations that they have done in the past couple of years, though

It's been that long. It's like really remarkably insane. I've been ordering just simply a Venti ice cream tea with no sweetener and no water added. This is like the most refreshing and invigorating of all the drinks for me, even though it doesn't sound that interesting. It's not interesting. It's simple. It's refreshing. As you know, it has the, I believe. What is it? Or is it Mint in there?

But to be honest, I have so many customizations for a lot of drinks though when it comes to the double chocolate chip Frappuccino, I always like to add like two pumps of white Mocha and caramel dress around the cup though and Mocha dressing on top with the caramel. So it's like a white Splosion shaken Frappuccino though and when I am very fancy, I usually do like caramel blend dead on the double chocolate chip and I do almond milk milk so it's so delicious. I love that

I knew I had to reply to this because everybody that knows me knows that I'm like the biggest Starbucks connoisseur that's ever lived. So I had to put in my opinion on this one. So I have different drinks that I like to get at Starbucks for every mood. So if I want something like refreshing, I'll do a strawberry oste lemonade with no strawberry inclusions. But when I want coffee, I am very simple. Kind of actually, I like an iced white Mocha with no whip

Hi, Samuel. One of my favorite Starbucks drinks is that oat milkshake and espresso. And I think it has, like, cinnamon and flavoring in it and stuff. I love that drink. And I went through a phase where I got it every single time. But now I try to switch things up, but it's so cool that you work at Starbucks. Do you like it? I was actually thinking about applying there myself

@carissa · 0:36
So my Goto drink at Starbucks is a Venti iced Chai latte with almond milk, I think is what I do. And then so sometimes I do that. Or if I'm feeling like a hot tea, I'll do the a honey citrus Mint tea, which is so good. And especially if you're sick, it feels amazing on your throat. And then sometimes if I'm feeling like sweeter iced tea, I'll do pike iced peach green tea

@gabrudolph · 0:53
And this one just pike happens already have oat milk in it. So it kind of always works out perfect for me. Only issue. It just turns out that I feel like every Starbucks, they always run on oat milk. But I actually just went to Starbucks Pike right now. And I got ugly on sugar shake and espresso. And I got with soy milk. And I'm not mad about it. I like soy milk, actually. But yeah, that's my favorite go to drink
Samuel Penate
@samuelpenate · 1:19
And if you are pike a little fancy, I would do the cinnamon dosa powder so it kills the bitterness of the cold brew because it can get a little bitter with a lot of sugar. But the powder actually has a different nutrient. Yes, we have that at Starbucks, which is weird and that will make it so much better
Xander Brooks
@xanderbrooks · 0:15
I know this is simple and basic, but my go to drink is just a black coffee light roast. And I enjoy that every day. I don't put any cream or sugar and I just like it black and it just gets my morning in, going
I have to go with Xander. Here I am, a black coffee guy. I wasn't always a black coffee guy, but for the last probably five, six years, it is my life force. As hot as possible, as dark as possible. No sugar, cream, milk. Just straight up. The only other type of coffee I will even remotely consider drinking is cold brew. And even when I do that, it's black, cold brew
Margaret Latenser
@Maggiel6 · 0:34
Okay. So my go to drink is honestly just a cold brew with some of the vanilla flavoring in it. I am a very I like bitter coffee. But if I'm going to go to Starbucks, like I want that little vanilla in it, I guess it's if that makes sense. But my friends do always make fun of me because they get all that cold foam and pumpkin spice and all that. And I'm just not into all that. I like coffee for coffee and for caffeine
Samuel Penate
@samuelpenate · 1:52
I love how everybody has so many different ways on order coffee. I personally think that adding a shot of espresso to any coffee makes it like slice delicious stuff. Had always a scary vibe from one of my coworkers when she says, Why are you getting your Nitro cold Brewer with two blonde auto shots? And I'm just like, well I kind of need the caffeine and I like it when it's bitter and when it's sweet
Celine Guzman
@celine · 0:56
Hey, I feel super plain and boring now with my Starbucks order. After hearing this. If I don't get like something caffeinated, I literally just get an iced peach green tea lemonade venture. That's it. And then if I do get something caffeinated, I normally get a caramel cold brew with the pumps of caramel like the Drizzle. And I'll normally do pike almond milk or any nondairy milk, but that's literally all that I get. I don't really get anything crazy
Personally, I am a huge Venti Chai latte with oat milk person. I think it really just quenches my thirst instead of dehydrating me like most coffees do most coffee drinks. So I just wanted to offer that because I know that's what you were coming on here asking about. But I just wanted to ask if you could do maybe a separate post, maybe even a series of the craziest Starbucks or Starbucks drink orders that you've ever gotten
Samuel Penate
@samuelpenate · 0:45
I love when customers order Chai tea, latte or caramel Culver though. I personally really love Culver though, since I've been working for Starbucks for so many years though. I love all the drinks in general though, I just have my own preferences though. And honestly, with employees at Starbucks, we don't mind if you order like just a culprit with some on Terry or just a Chai tea late ice or anything. In general though, it's just phenomenal
tay hendrix
@taythepisces · 0:37
Okay. So my Goto coffee drink for Starbucks would be a Grande iced caramel macchiato. Love that. I also get extra caramel sometimes. Yeah. It's nice and and sweet. And then my favorite non coffee drink is the pink drink, which I feel like is very basic, but it's vegan with no modifications. And I used to be vegan. I'm not anymore. But when I was vegan, that's what I all the time. And it's just, like super refreshing
Caitlin Jensen
@Cait.Jensen · 0:59
Hi. So I actually used to work at Starbucks for two years and I had so many sweet drinks that I did not like getting sweet drinks anymore. So if you are not that into sweet drinks, this is what I would recommend for you. I really like coffee, so I like to get the ice cold brew. It costs a little more from the iced coffee, but the iced coffee is made shipped from a bag

My absolute favorite drink is the Irish Cream cold brew. I love it so much. I can't express how much I love it when it's gone, when the season is over and they don't have any more to make. I'm so sad about it. I wish this would become a part of the permanent menu
Good morning, fellow swell listeners. My name is Mary Gonzalez, originally from New York border, owned and raised. But I moved here and have family up here. So I just wanted to say food morning and I look forward to hearing from you guys. Have a wonderful full day
I'll get it with soy milk and I'll get a splash of sweet cream cold foam if I'm feeling a little crazy, might throw a couple of pumps of Chai in there too. And do pike a Chai matcha mix and that is really yummy. If not, I love their pink drink refresher with coconut milk. I think it's super yummy on pike a warm day. But their lemonade is also fire, so I do love a good tea lemonade as well

@cosette · 2:13
And then there's like, what is happening? So I don't really tailor my drinks at all. I just tell them to drink and then they're like, oh, would you like a pump of syrup? And I'm Pike? Sure. And then I guess when I splurge, I'm always a fan of the seasonal drinks. Pike, whatever's on seasonal and whatever they're promoting. My favorite is probably like the peppermint Frappuccinos
So listen, I agree. Starbucks is not any better quality than any other coffee shop. They just have me hooked because it's just been such a staple part of my life
Gautam Kaul
@GKaul2001 · 0:17
Well, for me my just go to drink, which I can just take it go with it. And I'll be just fine. It has to be cold coffee. Just plain old cold coffee will set me on my way just fine
Samuel Penate
@samuelpenate · 1:23
And if you got an eyes oatmeal shaken espresso with probably pike extra oat milk and light ice, they won't charge you more because you already been charged for that. But if you want another drink, maybe like I slaughtered with actually pike espresso shots in a Grand Cup with extra oat milk. We won't and charge you if it is more than 4oz, though. But if it is more than 4oz, yes, we will charge

So about my Goto Drink. My Goto Drink is without any doubt, Coca Cola. It's so good. It refreshes my body from the inside out. Like whenever I feel hot or I don't feel good, I don't just grab a can of chilled Coca Cola from the fridge and just gulp it down my body and it just makes me feel so cool. So that's my go to drink. And I like it a lot
Oh, my God, that's so cute. Okay. I like the caramel Frobe with whipped cream. This makes me laugh, but I know it's so serious for you. It is art. Life is art, and I get it. I like that Zara latte with whipped cream blended. Heck yeah. That is my drink at cervix

@gracepouri · 0:30
I'm so bad at, like, drinks and ordering drinks. I one of my roommate one time got me onto the ice black tea, lemonade with lemonade, six pump. I just said that. Oh, my God. I repeat myself. The ice black tea, lemonade with six pumps of cane sugar. And ever since then, that's all I get. I've only had that in a passion tea. So very basic drinks. I don't like coffee or mochas
Grace Salzer
@gsalzer · 0:47
My go to drink would be the iced peppermint Mocha. It's like technically a wintery Christmas drink, but I get it year round because I think it's good. Also an ice pumpkin spice latte. I know that sounds basic, but they are so good. I've never gotten a really specific order with all the different pike. Two pumps of this and two pumps of this. I don't know what would even be good. I just order off the menu
Jesse Gold
@jesseasgold · 0:38
My go to Starbucks order is a Penate. Americano Misto with sugar free Dolce syrup, the standard amount usually made with milk. It's cheaper than most of their fancy drinks. An American or Misto is generally less expensive. You can get it with brewed coffee if you want to be even less fancy and pour the milk yourself else. And it's really tasty with not a huge amount of calories. So that's my go to for a hot drink anyways
Aliyyah K
@aliyyahkakbar · 0:49
One of my favorite drinks is the Nitro Cold Brew with Sweet cream. I really like that drink because of its high caffeine content. I really wish that that one would come it would come larger than a Grand Tay, but I understand we would have some really jacked up people on caffeine if we were allowed to get a Venti size Nitro Cold brew. The second best drink, at least for me, is the Blonde Roast Coffee. Simple, but it comes with a lot of caffeine as well
Nina P.
@ninatries · 1:36
This is a really good question. Without thinking, I normally order a Trent of black ice tea with light ice, no water and five Splendas. That's if I really need the caffeine. Otherwise I just leave it as is and still no ice. Any creamy drinks or pike espresso coffee drinks would normally have. And this is including the FRAPS too. Would normally have light ice if it's a FRAP oat milk and three or four Splendas depending on what it is or what size it is

@winter_petals · 2:12
But now, mostly the drink that I like now is called a chocolate cookie crumble creme frappuccino. So this is something I order when I'm on my cheat days and stuff. Otherwise, it's mostly some sort of a lemonade or mint fresher or something. So this drink that I take, I actually ask for oat milk and decaf espresso, some amount of mocha sauce, mocha drizzle, sometimes with whipped cream or mostly without whipped cream. Yeah. And cookie crumble topping

@Roma_Dessai · 1:12
Nandi, whenever I see you something pike during my leisure time, I would love to make Mojito and have it. It doesn't have the exact same taste as in the restaurant, but I love to make it. It's my favorite thing to do because it tastes just awesome. And whoever has already had this be, I think you all can relate to me how much you love Mojito. Oh, of course. It's a virgin monitor. Okay. I like to have cocktails rather than cocktails

As a matter of fact, hot wine mocha is my favorite drink from Starbucks. It's interesting that you mentioned it in your question

Good morning. So I have to say that my favorite Starbucks combination will depend on the time of season. Yep, I'm that basic person. If I am looking for something light and refresh, usually I'm going to the green tea. No sweetener nothing added, Justin, like it is. And then obviously, pumpkin spice dropped yesterday. So of course, I do get my pumpkin spice latte. And then, of course, I'm all for peppermint mocha. All time
Jodi Torrey
@Jodito · 1:09
Honestly, I feel like I don't have, really any leg to stand on, because every drink you just mentioned is what me and my daughters get. My youngest always gets ice white mocha, extra sweet cream, extra carbs drizzle, and then I get either an ice cream tea with sweetener or I get the passion tea, which you beat me to it with the raspberry pumps. Sometimes I get lemonade and sometimes I just like the passion tea alone
